Straightjacket Feeling - Pearlet [Chapter 3]

This is something I wrote AGES and AGES ago. First few chapters set in college but its NOT a college AU I swear! Kinda based on ‘Do I Wanna Know’ by the Artic Monkeys, lyrics throughout fic.

TW - alcohol, drugs, some sexual references.

Chapter 3

One Year Later

'Spring Break bitches!' Jake hollered as he pulled up into the campus parking lot in his dad's eight seater SUV he'd leant him for the occasion. Jason swallowed hard looking at his bag in front of him. How had he gotten roped into this? He was so not a Spring Break kind of guy. Since the night at Jason's dorm he and Matt had become practically inseparable. As Matt had asked, Jason never mentioned the kiss again, for a while every time they hung out he hoped it might happen again but it never did and eventually Jason just put it to the back of his mind. Despite the fact they were like best friends now, Jason didn't know how he'd let Matt talk him into driving down to Florida with them for Spring Break. Matt had guilt tripped him into it, he'd used the fact that he was graduating in a few months to his advantage. He'd told Jason, but this is the last time we'll get to spend any proper time together and Jason had sighed and agreed. Jake's girl of the week Roxy was coming too as well as Jason's friend Kurtis and the two Brian's who after months of fucking when they were drunk were finally a fully-fledged couple. Matt grabbed Jason's suitcase with a smile and hauled it into the back of the car.

'I'm so glad you decided to come, this week is going to be amazing.' He beamed in that way that made Jason's whole body turn to jelly.

They finished packing up the car, Roxy called shot gun so she could ride up front with Jake and no one argued with her. None of them really liked Roxy very much but knowing Jake she wouldn't be around long anyway. The two Brian's sat in the back row of seats and would spend the majority of the journey messily making out. That left Jason in the middle with Kurtis on one side and Matt on the other. Jake sped off out of the parking lot as Matt was divvying out the beers, everyone took one except Jason. When Jake went to reach out for one Matt slapped his hand.

'No way man!' Matt scoffed. 'You decided to drive, there's no way you're drinking.'

'Oh come on Matt, I've driven drunk plenty of times. I actually drive best when I'm drunk.' He reached again but Matt slapped him again.

'No fucking way. You can drink when we stop over tonight.' Matt scalded him. It was a long drive to Florida but they couldn't afford plane tickets so they were leaving today, stopping somewhere on their way and continuing tomorrow. 'You sure you don't want one Jay?'

Jason shook his head.

'It's like 10am.'

'It's Spring Break!' Matt said like that made it better.

'And it's 10am.' Jason repeated and nudged Matt in the arm playfully.

'Spoil sport.' Matt teased, poking his tongue out at Jason before swigging his beer. Jason bit his lip and returned his gaze out the front window. Being Matt's friend was wonderful, the last year had been one of the happiest of Jason's life. He still didn't drink much and he very rarely went to parties with him but they had their Drag Race evenings, usually over at Matt's apartment off campus that he shared with Jake and Brian. They went to the movies, they got coffee, and Matt being an art major had even taken Jason to some galleries. It was the best friendship that Jason had ever had but he wanted more. He'd never gotten over his attraction towards Matt, he still got breathless every single time Matt smiled at him. He was pretty sure he was in love with the older boy, but of course, Matt was straight. Matt had had several flings with beautiful women over the last year, but like Jake they never lasted long. Each time Matt introduced Jason to his new bimbo Jason's heart broke a little more. He remembered them all, probably far better than Matt did. It was hard being in love with your best friend but Jason would rather have Matt's friendship than nothing he supposed.

—————————————–

They drove for hours, stopping a few times to get gas and snacks. When Jake finally pulled up at a motel it was nearly 9pm. They all piled out of the car and grabbed their bags before heading into the small reception. They seemed to startle the guy awake.

'Hey, can we get, what? Three rooms?' Matt asked the guy, turning to the others for clarification.

'Three?' Jason frowned.

'Yeah, Roxy and Jake, the Brian's and you, me and Kurtis can share right?'

'S'ok by me.' Kurtis shrugged. Jason wanted to protest that sharing a room with Matt wasn't a good idea but he couldn't without arousing suspicion.

'Where the fuck even are we?' Jake asked as the man behind the desk went about sorting their rooms.

'Wilmington, North Carolina.' He coughed as he spoke, a heavy smokers cough.

'Oh fuck we still have hours to go!' Jake groaned. The man behind the desk didn't say anything to that, he just tapped a few buttons on a thousand year old computer before handing over three keys.

'Rooms 102, 103 and 104.' He coughed again. They all handed over some cash to cover their rooms and then left the reception. Their rooms were all next to each other on the ground floor facing the parking lot.

'I saw a bar up the road, ten minutes to freshen up then we'll meet back here.' Jake told them before grabbing Roxy's waist and kissing her neck making he squeal.

'Make it half an hour.' She giggled as Jake pushed them both inside their room and closed the door. The two Brian's exchanged a look that the others all knew meant they were feeling frisky too.

'Yeah half hour works for us too.' Bri grinned, slapping the older Brian's ass and then they disappeared into their room too. Jason rolled his eyes.

'Oh god is that what this whole weeks going to be like?' He groaned as Matt put the key in their door.

'They’re like this every day of the year, did you really think Spring Break would be any different?' Matt chuckled getting the door open and letting them in. There was one double bed and one single bed. Matt immediately threw himself down on the double.

'Jay you'll share with me right? Kurtis you don't mind the single do you?'

'Not at all.' Kurtis shrugged. Jason shot his friend a look but he just shrugged. Kurtis was the only person that knew about Jason's feelings for Matt. He knew about their kiss too, that kiss that felt like a million years ago and just yesterday at the same time. Jason sighed.

'Sure I'll share with you.' He tried to hide the annoyance from his voice at Kurtis' betrayal.

'How are me and Jason going to get into a bar? Maybe we should have thought this through before we agreed to come on Spring Break with twenty-one year olds.' Kurtis frowned, sitting down on the edge of his bed.

'I've got that covered.' Matt grinned and started fishing around in his duffle bag before pulling something out. He tossed one of the items across the room to Kurtis and handed the other to Jason who rolled his eyes.

'A fake ID?' Jason sighed. 'Do these things actually work?'

'How do you think I was able to buy booze last year?' Matt chuckled and his eyes twinkled.

'Where the hell did you get this picture of me?' Kurtis grumbled.

'None of your business.' Matt winked at him.

'What if we get caught?' Jason pulled a face, he wasn't the kind to walk on the wild side.

'It'll be fine Jay I promise. I got one for Bri too, hopefully Brian will remember to give it to him if he gets his dick out his ass long enough.' Matt chuckled again. Stupidly Jason felt his groin shudder, not at the thought of the two Brian's screwing, but at the thought of screwing Matt.

'Right who wants to shower first?' Matt looked between them and Jason found himself raising his hand instantly. He had an ever growing problem, quite literally, in his pants that he needed to take care of.

'Me, please.' Jason bit his lip. He would fight someone for that bathroom. Matt sensed the urgency and pulled a face.

'Alright.' He rolled his eyes. 'Anyone would think you'd never showered.' He chuckled but Jason ignored him. He grabbed a towel and a change of clothes from his case and locked himself in the bathroom. He ran the hot water and stripped off his clothes before letting his hair down hand standing under the pathetic flow of water. He was hard within seconds, Matt had that effect on him. He'd lost count of how many times he'd pleasured himself to sordid thoughts of his best friend; it made him feel dirty but it also felt amazing. He wrapped his hand around his shaft as the water dribbled around him. He closed his eyes and imagined that kiss. It had been so brief and so soft, just a light peck really but if that was all Jason was ever going to have it would have to be enough. He imagined the kiss deepening and Matt laying him down gently on the bed and straddling him. He imagined Matt's dick inside him, pounding into him. He imagined Matt looking deep into his eyes and telling him he loved him as he came. He had no idea how long his climax took but he bit his lip to stifle his moan and came over the ceramic shower basin. He got rid of the evidence and quickly washed his body before drying and dressing. He towel dried his mane of hair and tied it back in a bun before exiting the bathroom. Matt and Kurtis stared at him as he entered the room and Jason's heart skipped a beat. Fuck, did they know what he'd been up to?

'Jesus Christ Jay, you've been in there ages!' Matt grumbled. 'Now we don't have time to shower.'

Jason blushed, he could feel his cheeks going red and he had to turn away from his friends and start rummaging in his case so they wouldn't see.

'Sorry.' He mumbled.

'I'm going to get changed quickly then we need to meet the others.' Matt sighed and grabbed some clothes before heading to the bathroom.

'No prizes for guessing what you were doing in there.' Kurtis said once Matt had closed the door. Jason's cheeks burnt so he kept pretending to look for something in his case.

'Don't know what you're talking about.'

'Liar.' Kurtis laughed.

'Just fuck off ok?' Jason turned back to Kurtis, his face was bright red still. 'I do not need you mocking me all week because of this fucking crush ok? Do you not think it’s bad enough?'

'Ooh, who have you got a crush on Jay?' Matt beamed as he came back out the bathroom. Jason froze. He looked from Matt to Kurtis and back again. How the fuck could he answer that? Fuck Jason was terrible at thinking on his feet.

'Just some guy in one of his classes.' Kurtis answered for him and Jason could have kissed him.

'Oh come on, spill the tea!' Matt grinned. Jason smiled to himself at Matt's choice of words, he'd picked that up from their Drag Race marathons.

'It's nothing, it's just a dumb crush.' Jason insisted.

'Oh come on Jay! I thought I was your best friend?' Matt pouted a little, Jason hated it when he did that because it made Jason want to give him anything he wanted. He had a suspicion that's why Matt did it.

'Really it's nothing I just-'

There was a knock at the door and Jason breathed a sigh of relief.

'Come on assholes!' Jake pounded on the door. 'If we can have sex in that time you three should have been able to get changed!'

Matt strolled to the door and opened it.

'Hey, it's not our problem that you're quick on the draw.' He slapped Jake's back.

'Asshole.' Jake grumbled. 'Come on guys, you've been drinking all day and that's not fair. Let me get drunk now, please god!'

'Alright let's go.' Matt turned back into the room and motioned Jason and Kurtis to follow them. They headed back down the street and fell into the bar they passed. There was a handful of people already in there and they all turned to look at the gang, narrowing their eyes on them. It made them all feel uncomfortable.

'Guess this is one of those locals only type of places.' Matt whispered to Jason as they headed to the bar, trying to ignore all the eyes on them.

'I feel like we're going to die here.' Jason whispered back and Matt tried to suppress his laugh.

'You ain't from around here are ya?' The bar tender narrowed his eyes on them as they approached. They all simultaneously swallowed, trying to mentally decide who was going to talk. Matt drew the short straw as he was probably the best with words.

'Uh no, we're just on our way to Daytona Beach and we stopped off at the motel down the road for the night. Any chance of some drinks?' Matt's voice was a little croaky, none of them had seen him this nervous before. The bar tender cast his eyes over each of them, pausing on all of their faces.

'If ya'll got ID's.' He finally shrugged. Jason's heart started beating even faster than it was before. The older members of their group, the ones that actually were twenty-one and had real driver’s licences handed theirs over first, Matt, Jake, Roxy and then Brian. Then Bri handed his over, no problem. Then it was Kurtis' turn and again no problem. Then it was Jason. He bit his lip and hoped to god the guy couldn't see his hand shaking as he handed him the fake ID. The bar tender looked from the ID that said he too was twenty-one and back to Jason. He spent a really long time scrutinising Jason's face, or at least it felt like a life time to Jason. His stomach was churning, his heart was racing and his palms were sweating. How much trouble would he be in if the guy knew it was a fake?

'What'll you have?' He addressed the group suddenly handing Jason back the ID. He breathed a sigh of relief as Matt gave him a side long glance and mouthed, I told you it would be ok. They ordered their drinks and paid and opted to sit on the bench outside so they could smoke and so they weren't being watched. They all crammed on to the rickety bench that felt as though it could give way at any moment. Jake had brought them a round of shots, he held his in the air as soon as they were seated.

'To mother fucking Spring Break assholes!'

The others all put their drinks in and clinked glasses.

'To mother fucking Spring Break!' They all chorused and downed their shots. Jason pulled a face as he felt the liquid burn his throat. Jake pulled a pre-rolled blunt from his pocket and lit it.

'I can't wait to get to Daytona and party tomorrow. This place sucks balls.' Jake groaned.

'It's better than nothing.' Matt shrugged.

'We should play a drinking game!' Roxy clapped her hands together looking around the table. It wasn't met with quite the excitement she'd clearly been expecting.

'Uhm sure?' Matt shrugged again.

'I suppose we could.' Older Brian agreed. She looked a little annoyed at their lack of enthusiasm but she tried to ignore it.

'How about I have never!'

'Hmm sure.' Jake dragged on the blunt once more before handing it across the table to Matt.

'How does that go again?' Kurtis asked which made Roxy sighed.

'Someone says I have never blah blah, and if you've done it, you drink.' She explained to Kurtis, talking to him like he was five. 'Right I'll start then.' Roxy rolled her eyes. 'I have never kissed a guy.' She started tame. Jason rolled his eyes as he, Kurtis, Roxy and the two Brian's drank. He gave Matt, who was sitting next to him a side long glance. He didn't drink. Fucking liar. Jason thought about saying something or at least nudging Matt subtly so Matt knew he was annoyed but as if he felt him looking at him, suddenly Matt gave Jason's thigh a pinch under the table.

'Right my turn.' Jake eyed them all up, unaware of what was going on with Matt and Jason across from him.

'I have never had sex in Matt's mom’s bed.' Jake grinned and Matt rolled his eyes and picked up his glass and took a sip.

'This is not going to turn into a game of let's get Matt drunk.' Matt laughed.

'Oh it won't be, because you ain't the only one sunshine.' Jake was still grinning as he picked up his glass and sipped.

'You asshole! When?' Matt hit him on the arm.

'Last Christmas when you let me tag along.' Jake smirked and Matt hit him again. 'What it's ok for you to do it and not me?'

'It's my mom!'

Jake just shrugged. Matt took a long pull on the blunt before handing it to Bri.

'Right I'll go next.' Matt pondered for a moment looking around the table to see who he could fuck up. 'I have never...had an inappropriate sexual dream about a friend.' He took a side long glance at Jason now and Jason wanted to hit him. Did he know? How could he? Jason thought about not drinking because Matt hadn't when Roxy asked her question. But to Jason's surprise Matt took a sip and Jason wondered for a second if maybe, there was any chance that dream was about him? Jason sipped his drink, thinking fuck it and Jake and Bri did too.

'Go on Jason, you go.' Matt nudged him in the arm.

'Oh I don't know, I'm no good at this sort of thing.' Jason bit his lip.

'Oh come on Jay.' Matt nudged him again. A part of Jason wanted to say something like, I have never wanted to fuck my best friend so hard it hurts, or I have never been in love with my best friend, but he held back. He sighed and said the first reasonably appropriate thing that came to his head.

'I have never had anal sex.' Jason, Kurtis and the two Brian's drank. And much to everyone's surprise so did Matt.

'Matt?' Jake gasped. 'Is there something you're not telling us?'

'It was with a girl you dick.' Matt scoffed.

'Really? You sure about that Matty?' Jake teased him. 'It's just all the other people that drank are gay so...'

'Fuck all the way off.' Matt rolled his eyes.

'I'll go.' Brian spoke before Matt and Jake could start arguing. 'I have never-'

'Urgh this is boring, I just want to drink.' Jake cut him off snatching the blunt from Bri. 'Someone get some shots in, purlease.'

'I'll go.' Jason got up from the table, happy for the distraction.

'I'll come with.' Matt got up too and Jason groaned internally. Of course he loved spending time with Matt but sometimes it was hard to be around him. Especially when they were going to be around each other for the next week solid and sharing a fucking bed tonight. They walked back into the bar and ordered a round of shots.

'God I can't wait to hit the beach, I've almost forgotten what hot weathers like living in New York.' Matt beamed helping Jason carry the glasses.

'Where in Florida are you from again? Is it far from Daytona?' Jason nudged the door back open with his hip as Matt followed.

'A few hours, I didn't dare tell my mom I was coming down or she would have insisted I took a detour though.' He laughed. They put the shots on the table and everyone grabbed one.

'Spring Break bitches!' Jake cheered.

'We can't keep toasting Spring Break every time we have a shot.' Brian chuckled.

'Fuck yes we can! It's Spring fucking Break.' Jake downed his shots as did the others. A lot of alcohol flowed that night, for the most part anyway. Jason tried to pace himself like he always did around Matt. He always worried if he drank too much around him he would end up confessing things he shouldn't.

—————————————–

That night when they retired to their rooms, some drunker than others, Jason tried to distance himself in the bed from Matt, but Matt had other ideas. He pulled Jason into a tight embrace so Jason's head was resting on Matt's strong chest and he kissed the top of Jason's head. Matt had definitely had a lot to drink.

'You know I love you right Jason? You're my best friend.' He slurred a little sleepily. Jason smiled to himself. He knew Matt hadn't meant he loved him in the way he wanted him to mean it, but for a moment he was going to pretend otherwise. Just for a few blissful seconds, he was going to pretend that Matt loved him the way he loved Matt. There was no harm in pretending some times.

—————————————–

The following morning they were all waiting with their bags by the SUV in the motels parking lot when Jake finally stumbled from his room, holding his head.

'Can't drive. Absolutely no fucking way I can drive.' He dangled his keys in the general direction of his friends. There was an audible sigh from the group.

'I did tell you to take it easy.' Brian chuckled.

'Who asked you?' Jake grumbled. 'Please? If you want us to get to Daytona in one piece someone else is gonna have to drive.'

'Fine, give me those.' Matt snatched the keys from his hand. 'But Jason is riding shot gun.'

Jake grumbled something inaudible. They got back in the car and assumed their positions, the Brian's taking up the back seat with Matt and Jason now in the front and Jake and Roxy with Kurtis.

'Next stop Daytona Beach!' Matt told them and reversed out of the parking lot, much more sensibly than Jake in Jason's opinion.
